Missouri man found a lost dog, and called the police. Cops came, took the dog to a park, shot it, and dumped it in a ditch.

Cops love killing dogs.

If the only tool you know is a gun, every problem looks like a target.

Dogs, suspected shoplifters, black people in a white neighborhood...

Have these people not heard of animal shelters, or are they too lazy to take the dog to one?

“We don’t have any way of taking care of a dog,“ an officer told the dog’s owner, Bryan Pennington.

You couldn't just take it to a local dog pound? And isn't there such a thing as microchipping, which allows a dog to be scanned and their owners identified?

The police are far from anyone’s friend.

Cops kill dogs when they enter houses, it’s one of the very first things they do.

Cops just love to kill small harmless animals! Cops just love to kill!

The cops resent it when their job involves anything but murder. Don't call the cops unless you're prepared for something or someone to die.

Let me guess it was a black lab?

Years and years of copganda movies have rotten these guys brains.

Note to self: if you find a lost child in Missouri, don't call the cops

The dog was no angel! Let's hear the officer's side of the story too /s

I don’t believe in hell. But there are days when I hope with all my being that I’m wrong.

May they reap what they’ve sown theeefold. With harm to none but them personally, so mote it be.

Finally, a post about police violence that has no bootlickers in the comments. I guess going out of their way to kill a dog is the one thing so unambiguously shitty that nobody bothers trying to defend the cop

Maybe they should have said that before taking the dog to murder it. What a terrible person. I hope he toys.

They're all just itching to kill. Doesn't matter what it is, kill it.

Again, this is what happens if you don't give adequate training to police officers nor select on more intelligent individuals for the job. If you hire a bunch of trigger happy gun nuts, this is what you get. Don't be surprised, this is an obvious outcome.

It's also relatively easy to solve. Double investments in police. Sell all the crazy military equipment they have and don't need. Actually, don't sell it, destroy and recycle it. Use that money to then give they a minimum of 4 years of training before they go out on the streets. Teach them de-escalation techniques. Teach them how to make the world better, to protect and serve

They literally named a state misery.

Wtf!

Isnt fox republican??? Why did they report on this? Also its not available in my country -_- but i guess fox protected me from fox

abolish police.
